Chapter 370 Don’t You Want To Get More Aircraft Orders?(2/2)

"Do you have anything else to report to the aircraft department?"

"There's another thing Mr. David has a news from the C919 in the country of Yan."

"According to the latest news, C919 and Phoenix Group have cooperated to develop several functions on 'aircraft satellite communications'."

While talking, Leo said several functions developed by Phoenix Group.

When it comes to "aircraft high-speed-WIFI", someone finally started to discuss it.

Leo glanced at everyone and expressed his opinion directly.

"Mr. David, I think it is necessary for us to contact Phoenix Group to understand their functions."

Mr. David, the CEO of Boeing Group, frowned when he heard this.

To be honest, as the CEO of Boeing Aircraft, the world's best and greatest aircraft manufacturer, even though he was the former overlord, he still subconsciously didn't like the C919 of Yanguo.

To put it bluntly, COMAC is simply a primary school student in front of Boeing. Even the once-great Il96 and 204 passenger planes have obvious design problems in Boeing's eyes.

He did not think that the C919 of Yanguo could surpass the Boeing 737, and he didn't care much about the functions equipped with the C919.

But before he could speak, the other executives spoke first.

"Leo, their functions are only high-speed-WIFI, but other functions are not very important."

"However, our relationship with Yanguo is not good now, and Phoenix Group has economic and trade frictions with us. Are you sure they will provide us with services?!"

Leo also knows the friction between Phoenix Group and Amei.

He shrugged and said:

"I know, but I still insist that we can give it a try, what if they want to?"

"Leo, I'm not as optimistic as you, and in my opinion, our current WIFI function is not too bad. There is no need to rush to contact Phoenix Group..."

"No, Jace, in the past, everyone used 100Kb/S WIFI hotspots on international flights, so there was no problem. What if Airbus uses Phoenix Group's services next?"

"I still have that view..."

As he said that, Leo started a debate with a senior official.

Mr. David, CEO sitting above the conference table, didn't care much about the features launched on the C919, and did not want to waste time on this matter at this time.

"Okay, I know."

"Jess's idea is fine. The Phoenix Group is very hostile to our country. We don't need to rush to contact them like this."

"And our current WIFI is also fully usable. After Phoenix Group launches this service, it should be a 'mask satellite phone'!"

"Didn't they say they want to achieve high-speed WIFI on the plane?"

"Okay, the next issue."

...

Although the news that Phoenix Group released "aircraft high-speed WIFI" did not cause much trouble on the Internet, it still attracted a lot of attention within several aircraft manufacturers.

However, what surprised Hu Lai was that he did not wait for the business cooperation letter from Airbus or Boeing, but instead received the business cooperation letter from Embraer and Gulfstream aircraft manufacturers.

Embraer is Embraer and the third largest aircraft manufacturer in the world.

However, because mainstream aircraft cannot compete with Boeing and Airbus, their current business has gradually shifted to cargo aircraft and business aircraft.

Gulfstream aircraft manufacturer is a flying manufacturer under General Motors, the world's best business jet company and the first choice for most celebrities and celebrities' private jets.

It is understandable that the two major mainstream business jet manufacturers come to the door and come to Wu Lai.

Business jets and private jets pay attention to private luxury customization, and high-speed WIFI is the basic configuration.

Hu Lai was very welcome to the two aircraft manufacturers, and soon arranged a special person to contact them.

On the third day, Hu Lai finally waited for Airbus' business letter. At the same time, Airbus also attached great importance to it and specially arranged several engineers at the "Yanguo Aircraft Production Base" to go to Phoenix Group in person.

After just two days of testing, the two sides were ready to cooperate in the excited and surprised eyes of the engineers.

But at this moment, Hu Lai proposed a condition that had been prepared for Airbus vice president Pierce who came to negotiate cooperation:

"Mr. Pierce, I believe your engineers have confirmed our functions. We can work with your company, but we have a requirement."

“We want C919 to get a certificate of airworthiness in Europe.”

In the conference room, Pierce waved his hands repeatedly.

"Hu, we can't make decisions about this matter. This is the European Air Control Agency's business."

Hu Lai smiled slightly.

"If we promise that as long as you help you achieve the airworthiness certificate for C919, we will not provide the same service to Boeing?"

"That is to say, you will exclusively own these functions on the passenger plane before Boeing will develop the same 'positioning system', 'cloud black box', and 'high-speed WIFI' in the future."

“In addition, it’s not just a factory plane!”

"We refuse to provide services for all existing airlines as long as it is Boeing, but we can assist you in providing services for your Airbus!"

"Don't you want to get more airplane orders?"
